Israel has been in a state of near-perpetual battle for many years, receives billions of {dollars} a 12 months in help and weapons, and has persistently damaged worldwide regulation by increasing its occupation and settlements.

Yet, for chief Benjamin Netanyahu, it’s “the only democracy in the Middle East”, a view usually repeated by supporters.
